[UAG] Antivirus exclusions

I often see question about installing an anti-virus or not on Forefront UAG. Of course it's possible and these exclusions are for real-time protection.

Keep in mind that these exclusions must be done before starting the real-time protection, in other case the server may encounter performance issues for example.

Folders to exclude:

• %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore
• %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs
• %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway
• %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.ISARS
• %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSFW
• %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway

Files to exclude:

• %allusersprofile%\NTUser.pol
• %Systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy\Registry.pol
• %windir%\Security\Database\*.edb
• %windir%\Security\Database\*.sdb
• %windir%\Security\Database\*.log
• %windir%\Security\Database\*.chk
• %windir%\Security\Database\*.jrs
• Res*.log
• Res*.jrs
• Edb.chk
• Tmp.edb
